I have polycystic ovaries and found out 4 years ago through an ultrasound that my right ovary has a 1.5cm cyst. My right ovary measures 3.1cm x 3.8cm and my left is 2.4cm x 3.1cm. Are these sizes bigger than normal? What's the usual size for ovaries? I really want to know if these cysts can affect pregnancy and how to manage them without surgery or laser treatment. I'm 24, 147cm tall, and weigh 73kg. I also have a history of thyroid issues and currently take Thyroorm 88mcg and Metatime 500mg. Can you help me understand my condition better and suggest natural ways to recover? I've attached my recent prescription for reference.

I'm kind of curious about something. I've been married for a couple of years, and my husband is really into sucking my nipples for a long time, like almost every day. I do enjoy it, but sometimes it's for like an hour on each breast, and he also pinches one nipple while sucking the other. It's fun, honestly. But here's the thing: I'm wondering if there's a chance I could start producing milk even though I don't have kids yet. Does this kind of stimulation make that possible?
While nipple stimulation can trigger the release of the hormone prolactin, which plays a role in milk production, it typically requires pregnancy or recent childbirth to induce lactation. Without a pregnancy, prolonged nipple stimulation alone may not result in milk production, though it can have temporary effects like increased sensitivity or small amounts of fluid secretion. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for more personalized advice.
